Getting Ready
Turn the power on and get ready to shoot.
Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•
If the camera is on, make sure it is turned off before inserting or removing the battery.
•
For information on how to turn the camera off, see P.30.
This camera uses the Rechargeable Battery DB-
70, a dedicated lithium-ion battery supplied with
the camera. It is economical because you can
recharge it using the battery charger and use it
over and over again. The rechargeable battery
needs to be charged before use. The battery is not charged at the
time of purchase.
Number of shots you can take ---------------------------------------------------------------
Approximate number of shots you can take on a single charge: Approx. 300
* When [LCD Auto Dim] (
G
P.179) is set to [On]
•
Based on CIPA standard (Temperature: 23 degrees Celsius, picture display on, 30
seconds between shots, changing the zoom setting from telephoto to wide-angle or
wide-angle to telephoto for each shot, 50% flash usage, turning the power off after
each 10 shots).
•
You can take approximately 270 shots when [LCD Auto Dim] is set to [Off].
•
Set the camera to synchro-monitor mode to increase the number of shots you can
take. (

P.56)
•
The number of shots is for reference only. If the camera is used for long periods of
time for setting and playback, the shooting time (the number of shots) will decrease.
If you intend to use the camera for a long period of time, we recommend carrying a
spare battery.
Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•
The battery may become very hot immediately after operation. Turn the camera off
and leave it to cool down sufficiently before removing the battery.
•
Please remove the battery if you are not going to use the camera for a long period of
time.
•
When using a lithium-ion battery, use only the specified rechargeable lithium-ion
battery (DB-70). Do not use other rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
